Engine - Engine and crankcase
This enables precise timing being maintained during the life of the engine.
The crankshaft gear drives the idler gear, which is attached to the front of cylinder block.
The idler gear then drives the camshaft and the injection pump via meshing helical gears.
The camshaft gear is bolted to the front of the shaft and is keyed to maintain position of the gear on the camshaft.
Lubrication system
Lubrication of the engine is maintained by a gear type oil pump mounted on the front end of the crank shaft.
The pump drains oil from the engine oil sump through a tube and screen assembly.
A spring loaded relief valve is integral with the oil filter and prevents over pressurization of the system.
A spin on type oil filter is mounted externally to its support housing on the left hand side of the engine.
Oil flows from the filter to the main oil gallery, which runs the length of the cylinder block, which also intersects the
camshaft follower chamber.
The main gallery also supplies oil to the crankshaft main bearings, connecting rods both big and small ends and timing
gear bushes.
The inner side of the pistons and pins are lubricated by oil pressure jets (piston cooling nozzle).
Timing gears are lubricated by splashed oil from the cam follower chamber and the pressure lubricated camshaft drive
gear bushing.
An intermittent flow of oil is directed to the value rocker arm shaft assembly via a drilled passage in the cylinder block.
This is located vertically above No. 3 camshaft bearing and aligns to a hole in the cylinder head. The rotation of the
camshaft allows a controlled intermediate flow of lubrication.
